After a couple days of rewriting and looking over the previous submission, the Most Serene Republic of Manda has been rewritten, and refounded as the Most Serene Republic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspired by the historical Merchant Republics that rose to prominence in the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages; The Most Serene Republic focuses upon the core fundamentalist view of gaining power through the acquisition and establishment of lucrative trade routes. With a heavy focus on an economy that is more trade-centric with minimal mercantilism influence as a means to back the mandate of expansion through ‘peaceful’ means, utilizing trade routes and trade ports. Publicly focusing on and endorsing legal means of commerce; A Government influence black market thrives, often supplied with goods seized by the authorities.
On the outside, for all intent and purpose, the Most Serene Republic is a neutral party in Galactic politics. Just below the surface is an entirely different matter. They are willing to use their economy as a weapon before the utilization of any armed forces. Flooding a market with goods, depriving a world of exotic goods or otherwise causing rampant inflation to collapse an economy are tactics used by the Most Serene Republic on those worlds they wish to claim or view as a threat.
